Former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko has stated that a targeted terror campaign has been organized against all of her defense lawyers.
"They scoff at the lawyers every time. Now [they’re scoffing] at Mykola Siry, who was also given three days to read the case [materials], and who had to leave the process, as terror against him has also begun. They are checking his diploma and his dissertation for 1991 and are trying to prove him guilty of plagiarism. Imean they’re fighting directly against all of my lawyers and they’re illegally using the security agencies for this," she told reporters on Monday after a court hearing.
She also expressed indignation regarding the fact the her lawyer, Yuriy Sukhov, was given only two days to read "5,000 pages, watch 147 hours of video recordings, and an week and a half [to prepare] for the interrogation of witnesses."
